About the Modern Quilt Guild

Our mission is to support and encourage the growth and development of modern quilting through art, education, and community.

The Modern Quilt Guild is made up of over 14,000 members in more than 200 guilds in 39 countries around the world.

How the MQG Started

The MQG developed out of the thriving online community of modern quilters and their desire to start meeting in person. The founding guild was formed in Los Angeles in October of 2009. Through blogs and the Internet, word spread quickly of the fun they were having and soon guilds started popping up everywhere. The MQG is a nonprofit corporation with IRS 501(c)(3) status.
